Content Tools & Apps

Many apps are paid or limited by in-app purchases. Teachers may use the process for the VPP program in the iPad Information and Procedures for Teachers Google document to purchase paid apps. All paid apps purchased through the VPP program must be in the Education collection in the App Store. Apple has NO process for educational organizations to make in-app purchases, so we do not have access to app upgrades that are only available as in-app purchases.
